Workday goes headless, opening its HR and finance data to outside AI agents

Workday has made its Trusted Agent Platform headless, enabling developers to build HR and finance AI agents using models from Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, Nvidia, and OpenAI, all operating under strict Workday permissions and audit controls. The platform includes a Model Context Protocol server, SQL access to live data, and a shared runtime for agents, ensuring agents can only access data permitted to their user accounts.
